    It did 25 -> 27 -> 30 -> 35 so far

    yep 20 to 40 is the same range, but past a certain price, i think its more a scam than a sell :)

    Not sure.

    I've seen pretty convincing data from people who have done 3,000–4,000 runs and only had 5–8 Gold Crystallines drop. The drop rate seems extremely low. The fact it can also rolls any q (9-13), any inherent (max and non max), makes me believe its more rare then its currently valued at.

    I would not sell this for 40a and just keep it.

    rarity is a thing, but there is around 3 buyer in the market, maybe more on good inherents one.

    That means when those 3 (including me) already have the inherent, its value fall to 5 / 10a

    Out of curiosity I asked Chat GPT to look up since 2008, basically there is no public record of this specific sword anywhere, of course with the new dungeon that may change. So public records of crystalline drops since 2026 are below.

    Main finding

    No other sale public record was found for an exact Q9 Crystalline Sword with +15% damage vs. Hexed foes (but a q8 +15% damage vs. Hexed foes was sold in December 2020 for 760a) .

    The table below lists publicly documented Q9 Crystalline Sword sales, auctions and offers for which the modifier and/or price could be recovered.

    I'd consider a fair price anything between 40 and 90arms; I don't expect it to reach 100.

    Bro

    20a is a fair offer.

    Its small money, it can go for 40.

    For the inherent : its the worst with 15-10 armor.

    In the order :

    15 -1 health

    15-1 energy

    +5

    15^50

    15^stance

    15 -5

    15^ench

    Then 15 hexed foes or 15 -10

    Then 20hexed and 20v50


    Even some 14 would worth more :

    Every 14-1 at least but pretty sure a 14^50 would go for more than that


    In your chatgpt crawling history (you missed 90% of the auctions) the first is prenerf and worth more than yours now. You mixed purple, they dropped (even in q8) for the past 20 years. You also mixed inscribable...

    Quote from Leight

    a q8 +15% damage vs. Hexed foes was sold in December 2020 for 760a

    I sold one in 2016 for much more and i custod another one. Most of these trades included items traded tho.

    It also dupe some crysta easier than the OG q8 15^50 was back in the days. And pretty sure some are totally invented.


    A q9 +5 can go for 2000a tomorrow. Yours still worth 20-40a

    The point is there is 1-2 people collecting all inherent and 3-4 more collecting q9 perfect inherent. If they have it, your crysta is the hardest item to sell.


    Im included in those who bid on your crysta prior to that pc, consider that i'm retracting, the only reason i would pay more is to secure it fastly. Thats too late now. Gonna take the next one for half of the price.


    Sell it fast.

    mod image not recovered

    Sound like thats what it did


    For the Guru archive crawling, i dunno if Iaerah will keep it open. It has a cost. Only him knows :)


    The result is poor, with bad context (chatgpt is the worst on the market by faaaar - on every tasks)


    And ... its NOT the only one publicly sold ;)

    Thanks for the additional context. I get your point, it's a fair one. The fact that offers are converging at 40 arms tends to show you're right anyway.
    But as offers reached 40 arms almost immediately it could have indicated a higher potential, or a very determined market, maybe a usefull information for future readers!
